Iran Guards commander promotes fake anti-bomb device as virus detector
[ARABNEWS] The commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been promoting what appears to be a notorious fake bomb-detecting device as a coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
detector.

Maj. Gen. Hossein Salami, who replaced Qassem Soleimani
as head of Iran’s asymmetric warfare unit after his liquidation by a US drone in Iraq in January, presented the device on state TV on Wednesday, claiming that it could detect COVID-19 "within seconds."

The model shown is almost identical in appearance to the famously useless plastic and metal fake bomb-detecting device that was first sold by convicted British fraudster James McCormick to Iraqi security forces.

But despite years of useless service in bomb detection, Salami said the device was a "technological and scientific" innovation that was developed by Iran’s Basij militia.

"The antenna of this device can detect any spot infected with the virus within a 100-meter radius," Salami added. "It detects the virus within five seconds."

He said the device is superior to other COVID-19 tests because "there’s no need for taking blood. You can accomplish this from a distance."

Salami also claimed that the device had been tested at hospitals with an "80 percent" success rate.

Many independent researchers and news outlets have suggested that the government is covering up the true extent of the pandemic’s spread throughout the country.
